Death Before Dishonor touring plans

Death Before Dishonor will be storming through the East Coast alongside legendary hardcore band Strife with support on various shows from label mates Cruel Hand, Foundation and more. Following the East Coast dates, Death Before Dishonor will head to the Midwest with thrash kings Suicidal Tendencies and support from Hed PE, Cro Mags, and Underdog starting in Columbus, heading back through New York, and then ending out in Minneapolis. Tour dates are listed below.

In the five years since they originally joined the Bridge Nine roster, Death Before Dishonor has released two full-length albums, two 7 inches, and played thousands of shows around the globe. Last July, Death Before Dishonor released their third and most accomplished studio album to date – Better Ways to Die. This album not only solidifies Death Before Dishonor’s commitment to what they do as a band, but it also displays their unflinching ability and desire to establish themselves outside of clichés and the pre-defined constructs of what it is to be “hardcore.” With their 2007 release of “Count Me In,” Death Before Dishonor caught people off guard as the album debuted on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts, Independent Albums, and Top New Artist charts and stayed there for over four weeks. “If it weren’t for this band, I would be sitting in Massachusetts. In the last two years I’ve been to Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Japan, all across Europe, the US and Canada and I’ve seen all four oceans. We have no reason to stop now", said vocalist Bryan Harris.

Embrace Destruction - This Is Dedication

Show Of Force - Self Titled

The debut album by Show Of Force contains seven tracks of raging and tough old school hardcore. Hardcore is a genre where you can get away with taking a lot from other bands as long as it’s entertaining and that’s the case with this band.

Listening to these tracks it’s hard not to think of classic acts like Madball, Killing Time, Agnostic Front and such. They may lack the depth of Set It Off, Brightside or Victim In Pain, but nonetheless the band flawlessly executes all the aspects that define the NYHC genre and they do it with skills and practice. The songs sound catchy, fast and pissed off. The production is superb, but at the same time the clean sound doesn’t strip the rawness of the band. Musically, they’re head and shoulders above lots of other bands that play with this style. Lyrically, a large portion of the album deals with topics such as personal struggles, dirty politicians and fucked up society, all presented with an in-your-face delivery. I know it may sound cliché, but as long as they sound honest it’s cool with me. If I had to choose my fav track, I’d definitely go for Worst Case Scenario, a politically themed monster of a song with the chorus that will stick to your head for days. If you’re into NYHC, this is a must!

You can stream 10 songs from Outbreak's self-titled album via MySpace. You can stream Outbreak's entire album from Think Fast! website here.
Here's some press the band has received since the album's initial
release back in November:

"Outbreak succeed at issuing a merciless hardcore assault while
sounding like they're having the time of their lives. ...tighter,
smarter and livelier than most current hardcore, Outbreak deliver
another impressive round."
- Alternative Press

"The odds were against them, but they said "fuck the odds" and wrote
the best album of their career. Punk as fuck, right? ...when a band
writes a self-titled album, it's assumed their intent was to define
themselves -- their sounds and their politics. Outbreak does this
while producing relentless punk rock tunes in the process."
- PunkNews.org

"Yes, Outbreak are releasing their new album both on Think Fast!
Records and on Universal Music's Trustkill. Yes, they're on the 'Saw
VI' movie soundtrack. Yes, they've chosen a more punk way for their
sound. But fuck no, they haven't got soft."
- Daily Music Reviews

"The artwork is brilliant, production is solid, and the tunes are
pretty much how they are meant to be in this genre from start to
finish. Everything a fan of the band would expect, and then some.
Fifteen songs, twenty minutes, one solid album."
- Bombshell Zine

"While I recognize, and appreciate more, the punk angle of Outbreak,
others who are into the omnipresent hardcore element running rampant
in rock and metal today will enjoy their raw, caustic edge. The pace
is unrelenting without being monotonous ...Outbreak's latest is a fast
and furious, ripping good time."
- DangerDog.com

"Outbreak does a fantastic job defining themselves with this album.
...it appears that they may have finally released an album impossible
to ignore. Their former releases, You Make Us Sick and Failure, while
hailed in the hardcore scene, can now be seen as mere stepping stones
to this release that may be the pinnacle of their career."
- Outburn

"What sets Outbreak apart from the pack of hardcore is while they
serve up all of the elements of good hardcore, they are not dogmatic
in bowing to the rules established for hardcore. There is a melodic
punk energy throughout the album that really pushes them over the top
for me."
- 410 Media
